T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY CON CERN Be it known that I, ISRAEL HOGELAND, of thecity of Lafayette, in the county of Tippecanoe, and State of Indiana,have invented a new and useful Machine for lVashing and wringingClothes, Wool, Yarn, and Goods; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and exact description thereof, reference heilig hadto the accompanying drawings, and to thc'letters of reference markedthereon, ot'whicli- Figure l represents a end View.

Figure 2, a side viewg' and Figure 3, a top View.

The nature of my invention consists in constructing a machine which willwash clothes, wool, yarn, and goods, and which can be made to suit thedemand of families, as well as of hotels, hospitals, lnundries, e.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my machine,Ishallproeeed to describe its construction and operation. Y

I construct a box, A, and place one or more pair of rollers.7 and b',and c e, into it. Each of these rollers are provided with a cog-wheel, Cor C', in such a way that the upper roller b sets exactly over the lowerone b. 'lhe upper rollers are made adjustable by means of springs cl dd, the., and thumb-screws e c c, the. I then place a feeding cog-wheelbetween each pair of the lower cog-wheels C", and a power-pulley, X,(o1-crank, asthe case may be) to the axle of any one of thelowercog-wheels, C. I provide each end of the box A with one large or twosmall rollers, g g, over which I run my apron L z or belt. I alsoprovide a little roller, i, under the box A, for the apron to run over.I provide a pipe, j, with a. stop-coek, to supply the machine withwater, which runs through the distributing pipes r c'into the smallpipes l Z l, Sie. V These pipes rest upon the top of box A in such amanner that the water which passes through them will drop between therollers by means of perforations or slots on the underside of them. Whenthe machine is in motion the power is applied to the power-pulleyX,which, being on a common axle with one or the other of these lowercog-wheels C', willmove it, and gear into the upper cog-wheel C, as wellas into two of the feeding cog-wheels, ff, and from these cogwheels thepower is transferred to all the balance of the cog-wheels on themachine, setting all the rollers in motion. The articles to be washedare placed on the apron t, and drawn by it between the rollers c and e',

the waterrunning down upon them between each pair of rollers, cleansingthern. The last pair of rollers will wring them, so that they come outof my machine washed and wrang, ready for drying and ironing.

What I claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent ofthe United States, is- The combination of the rollers Z7 b band bub 6with the endless apron 7L, the gearing of the cog-wheels and C of thesprings d and thumb-screws c, together with the perforated or slottedpipes l Z Z, &e., the apron 7l, and rollers g g, all operatingsubstantially as set forth' and described for the purpose.
